After almost 50 years of wanting one, I finally have my Triumph Spitfire, a '79 model. Not a show car but a nicely kept and apparently well maintained example I'll look forward to driving. I'm not an old car guy, reasonable mechanical skills and a willingness to fix things though. I don't have much to offer the forum but have already learned some valuable info.

Hello Doakley

Welcome to the forum.

You will find the Triumph section is very active so you ware sure to get plenty of tips and advice there for your 79 Spitfire.

The Pub is an area of the forum where almost anything comes up for discussion.

Doakley, welcome. You will find when you purchase an old British car, Triumph , MG, etc., these were made so the aveage person can work on them on the side of the road. Once you get the hang of their little prroblems, you'll appreciate what they can teach you and the thrill they can give you on the drive. Lots of info can be had here, and yes with us old guys we can teach the young squirt a lot. Bynthenway, in Alabama a 50 yr old is elgible for Senior Citizen discounts.
